Texas health systems feeling crunch of latest COVID surge as nurse shortages persist Associated Press Shortage of nurses will only worsen amid high labor demand, says CEO of Texas Nurses Association AUSTIN, Texas – The resurgence of COVID-19 in Texas has put some cities’ health systems in dire circumstances, as intensive care unit beds fill up, officials say. In Austin, the health department said there were only nine ICU beds available on Friday in the 11-county trauma service region that includes the city and serves 2.3 million people. “We are running out of time and our community must act now,” said Dr. Desmar Walkes, Austin s medical director/health authority. “Our ICU capacity is reaching a critical point where the level of risk to the entire community has significantly increased, and not just to those who are needing treatment for COVID. If we fail to come together as a community now, we jeopardize the lives of loved ones who might need critical care.”
